Kathy Thompson

Thank you for your question.

First, I would like to reply to the point concerning aboriginal persons. The Aboriginal Peoples of Canada Adaptations Regulations regarding firearms gives aboriginal persons a solution regarding certification and training. It provides another process for those who cannot go to follow the training course because they live in a northern community, for instance. For cost or availability reasons, aboriginal persons may follow another process.
